Episode 5.3, Spiritual Ecology with Les Sponsel

This episode of the FORE podcast features Les Sponsel, Professor Emeritus in the department of Anthropology at the University of Hawaii. Sponsel talks about his transdisciplinary research and teaching as one of the pioneers in developing the field of spiritual ecology—a complex, diverse, and dynamic arena at the interfaces of religions and spiritualities on the one hand and, on the other, environments, ecologies, and environmentalisms with intellectual, spiritual, and practical components. Along with numerous journal articles, book chapters, encyclopedia articles, monographs, and several edited and co-edited books, he is also the author of the highly acclaimed book, Spiritual Ecology: A Quiet Revolution (2012).
